The Massey Ferguson 1520 is powered by a 3-cylinder, 1293cc engine that generates 19.5 horsepower at 2500 RPM. This engine provides enough power for light agricultural tasks, mowing, and general maintenance, while also being fuel-efficient. The tractor's fuel tank has a capacity of 28 liters, which supports longer operational periods without the need for frequent refueling.

This model features a mechanical transmission with an 8 forward and 8 reverse gear configuration (8F/8R). This setup allows for precise control over speed and direction, which is especially beneficial for tasks that require careful maneuvering. The MF 1520 also includes a 4-wheel drive system, enhancing traction and stability on various terrains, making it reliable in different working conditions.

While it does not come with a mid-PTO like some other models in the series, it is still capable of handling basic attachments effectively. The tractor's lift capacity is 600 kg, suitable for smaller implements used in groundcare and light agricultural tasks. The hydraulic pump offers a capacity of 20 liters per minute, which is adequate for most light-duty hydraulic applications.

Its dimensions—2865 mm in length, 2010 mm in height, and 1100 mm in width—make it highly maneuverable, particularly in areas with limited space. The tractor’s wheelbase of 1560 mm and a minimum ground clearance of 245 mm contribute to its agility and ability to navigate uneven terrain effectively.
